Sounding your horn will help the car in front clear all the water out of its hydrolocked engine and get on its way again. Obviously.
Yep exactly what I was thinking , was the clown in the van close enough behind too ?
На гудок нажал водитель красного авто, потому что фургон на него задним ходом поехал 🤔
Bet it sounds like farting under water 😜😜🤪🤪😂
Yeah just stay up other peoples arses and peep the horn because its broken down
At least he will now have an excuse for his indicators not working...
They all do the exact same thing! Drive through water too fast, car stops, open bonnet, don't know what to look for, start car and rev it's nuts off, break engine. Lol
I do wonder wtf they're expecting to see in there when they do that.
Makes my day
@@dismalfistWater? 😂😂😂
@@TheBrokenMountainBiker if only they realised that taking the air filter off then removing the spark plugs then turning the starter will get the water out of the cylinders a lot of them would save a lot of money instead of turning the starter before doing all that and ruining the engine.
@@ianhosier4042 We're talking about people who probably open their car's bonnet once a year when they finally get around to refilling the washer fluid.
Baseball cap, and on the wrong way around too - says it all.
I would never drive my car through floods. Came across one the other day. Turned around. Not worth it.
i would have thought that is the obvious thing to do, however, these doughnuts highlight that average joe is pretty daft.
Whoever would've thought "Vorschprung durk teknik" translates to "Under no circumstances drive through floodwater" 🤣🤣🤣
Good one. However that used to be Audi's slogan and all the Audis that I saw in this video (I think there were four, but I may have missed one) came through unscathed.
I love it when they open the bonnet and look for something which looks broken, but the amount of people on these videos who have no idea how close they came to destroying their engine is insane
That would have been dicey at walking pace for that BMW, at the speed he plotted through the water, that was a guaranteed fail.
Bad man wheels. All the gear but no idea 😂😂😂😂
Never go near water in a BMW. Awful cars
So you’d go through water in other cars? Are sure you’re not related to this guy?
I'm surprised more of these vehicles don't drown.
LOL @ the fool honking at the broken down car just after they break down.
I thought it was the red car warning the white van not to reverse onto it.
It's always very sensible to follow a car through a flood at less than 1m distance... what could possibly happen...😄🤣
Ze cars from the fatherland don’t seem to fair too well in water. Mind you the drivers are not the sharpest.
Certainly, if you are competent enough to open the hood of a vehicle to diagnose problem you would know better than to drive through a pond ……..
Always nice to see a bollocksed BMW 😆
I'm with you, gives me a special sensation.
German car companies used to make Aeroplanes not U-Boats. The more you know.
Must buy my next car made by Blohm and Voss.
So you think other cars are better? Related to this guy? You shouldn’t be driving anything other than a car that sits above the water through this.
0:14 They're like the NPC cars in GTA
Never seen so many just ignorantly drive at speed forging high water in a car. Just like those who drive in fog with high beams turned on. Some just crazy rude as well.
Everyone is in such a rush it feels like. Honking, speeding and cutting in front of each other, even when crossing a flooded road.
That BMW driver is lucky that he has a manual transmission and can put it into neutral and relatively easy push his car out of the water.
Lots of modern automatics have no easy way to put the transmission in neutral when the motor can't be turned over (so when it's hydrolocked).
That Mercedes probably has one of them. For modern BMW's, to put the automatic transmission manually in to neutral, that has to be done from the bottom: so jack the car up, remove a bottom panel under the transmission (in the middle of the car) and tighten a screw that pushes a little lever. Of course when your car is in 1ft of water....you'd have to hold your breath really long 🤣
That Mercedes can only be dragged out of there, with the wheels locked, risking more damage to the the transmission and drivetrain. Meanwhile getting sprayed over and over again by passing cars, only adding to the water damage of electronic modules. That car is a total write off. Of course the motor is probably toast anyways, bearing damage, bent conrod, maybe crankshaft damage etc. That goes for all hydrolocked motors.
makes a nice planter🤣🤣🤣🤣
If people were to push there cars to the over side rarther than taking the risk driving through so fast it would only cost them a pair of wellies rarther than having to pay for a tow and a full service.
They dont want to think!!!
Not sure why he opens the bonnet. Clearly has no idea how an internal combustion engine works.
all the people rushing through the water just to join the queue of traffic at the rounabout 😂
I blame people's idiocrasy to seeing so much standing water..plus that advert quite a while ago for BMW that stated "The Ultimate Machine" to plunder your bank account for repairs!..
👍
@@Leehuss5582 keeps the local garage busy
Proves to me that Mercedes cars are just obstacles on the road
Your comment just proves you can't afford one!

@@a0r0a7 Do you?
@@500bht If Mercedes are so horrible why do so many Brits buy them again and again?
If you want joke about something being an obstacle in the road why don't you mention any British vehicle since the first one was slapped together in the shed!
I care about my car too much to risk driving it through flood waters. I cant understand why so many drivers risk it
I don’t care about my car and I still wouldn’t risk it
This never gets old
Because it is always new
Yet another write off due to ignorance
The amount of people who were just driving right past that Black Mercedes is shocking, even people mocking the driver…
What is wrong with people nowadays? Is it too much to park up and offer someone a hand to get the vehicle out of the middle of the road? Even a tractor shot past, an ideal tow vehicle!
listen to the audio "if they're willing to drive, they should be able to drive out", and that's the truth. if you help these kinds of people they will just do it again. they need to sit there and learn their lesson. help will come, but it should not be quick. it's a timeout, like for school children, because that's exactly how they acted.
If the owner can afford a ridiculously overpriced vehicle, the owner can afford AA membership to be towed out. And more driving lessons.
You clearly haven't seen the Rufford Ford video, where the driver of a hydrolocked Clio manages to crash into the rear of a good samaratin, who offered to tow him out with a 4×4.
The way the world has gone, if you offer to help these people, they wouldn't even be grateful. They will just try & drag you into their own bs, even though they are the ones who got themselves into this situation.
Many motorists are that dense that they won't know where their towing eye is located. A lot of motorists wouldn't even know what a towing eye looks like.
Not to mention the large amount of motorists who won't know how to disengage their steering lock, electric park brake or override their automatic transmission, to select 'neutral', in such a situation.
Even though such procedures are listed in their owner's manual, which nobody ever reads.
You give people an inch & they take a mile.
@@SummerSausage1 That's true and 100% understandable. You changed my mind in that point so i deleted my old comment. 🙂👍🏻
I have a bmw F31, crossed a water crossing in outback NT Australia. Honestly i dont see how these people dont understand water crossing and how they f up so bad.
i dont understand people.
Smooth brains.
Problem is they're still breeding.
damn i’ve never been this early posted two minutes ago!🎉
***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL BMW DRIVERS***
Your car is installed with indicators from the factory and your car isn't an amphibious vehicle.
Thank you for your attention 🤭
It all depends on where the air intake is located. Mine is very high just under the bonnet. My poor Transit van wasn't so lucky. The air intake was actually just above the wheel height. Went through some flood water only to emerge with white smoke coming out the exhaust. Yes, on strip down, a conrod was found bent. The company decided on a new engine. Cost, way back then, £4000
People like this are a big reason insurance is sky high.
It’s stupidity - including those that do escape. Why drive a 10-30k asset through a flood?
Unfortunately people of today haven't got much common sense and alot of them are thick in the head there basic hands on skill level of just basic skills like checking the engine oil level or wiring a 3 pin 13amp plug are none existent most people cant even reverse a car nowadays compared to a your average joe of the 1960s .
They just need soviet cars!!!
I'm not going to help the Mercedes's! could you add White Van, BMW and Audi to that list?
Especially the Beemers...They NEVER make it out if the water gets above their front bumper!
Meee go vroom vroom in big puddle, me have super vroom vroom ! Oh no, vroom vroom no vroom vroom no more, me look at big thing that make vroom vroom go, me don't know why vroom vroom stop vrooming. 😅
God I hate BMW’s
IQ test for drivers. Think on, these people are driving on public roads......
I love the little hand gestures at 0:18 like it was somebody else's fault.
It's high time that people take responsibility for their own actions
"What do you mean there's water in my air intake? It's for air only, so how'd it get in there?!"
Global Britain 😂😅
*Stares at engine, clearly displaying for all, he has no knowledge of engines at all*
Its certainly the worst flooding I have seen in Leicester in years.
7:39 i was waiting for this guy to hit the merc
Or what about the bus at 1:30?
@@lutuinstra something about the deep unknown water just makes people floor it
Rescuing an electric car in a flood must be a scary thought
To much electronics in cars these days to go playing in deep water, if I go fording in my 40 year old stage 1 v8 landrover you can guarentee the engine will get drowned at some point and grind to a halt but a good squirt of the old WD40 on the plugs and dizzy and your off again, wet feet but mobile
It's rarely the electronics that causes the problems in deep water like this, it's more likely water getting sucked into the engine and hydrolocking it. It seems that some cars have air intakes that are too low. Obviously driver error plays a big part too!
Someone who lives local please tell me that there isn't another route available that avoids all of that? Funny how the white van beeped at the hydro locked car - totally pointless and very expensive if there is another route available and how does opening the bonnet get the water out of the engine?
If I recall right there is a way from South Wigston and by Crow Mills a walk leading to Blaby. However that also floods. I don't know of another which is not all the way around and about
Well it is quite a long way round. Go round the roundabout at the top of Blaby and back down to the next roundabout take a right, queue up to the Foxhunter roundabout at Blaby and then take the right past the Police Headquarters at Narborough and then straight on to Fosse Park or turn right onto Soar Valley Way depending where you are going. Will cost 10 minutes max. Going the other way, the same thing in the opposite direction.
@@shieldaigbencher surely 10 minutes extra driving is far cheaper than needing a new engine, new carpets, new wiring etc
@ianhosier4042 Well yes, 100% agree with you.
that mercedes is still standing there. as a reminder
The engine’s full of water 😳🤔?!
I just can't understand why people try restarting when it is obvious what has just happened.
You might get away with it if you drain the water out before starting, but if you try without getting the water out you will wreak the engine.
Have stalled 3 engines over the years - 1 10 ton military truck, 1 BMW M5 and 1 landcruiser. Emptied the air cleaner and pulled the plugs (or diesel injectors) and got away with it all 3 times.
@@gregculverwell take the plugs out and remove the air cleaner. Turn it over until the water clears, replace the plugs and drive to the nearest garage for a new air filter.
@@ianhosier4042 pretty much, except that you could probably wait until the filter has dried out by itself - with all the rain there is hardly any dust in the air.
That's what I did put it / them back the next day.
UK fishbrain-challenge
Simpletons gonna simp!
1. Why isn’t the road shut. Leaving it up to people whether to pass or not clearly isn’t a good idea as most don’t seem to understand how an engine works or where their air intakes are (BMW in particular seem to favour putting them as low to the ground as possible).
2. Clearly there’s a drainage problem and the council or the water companies need to get on it!
Great video!
The river Sence runs in the same direction as the railway line, presumably it has an underground tunnel, but the fields on the far side often flood on both sides of the road, and after heavy rain it does flood under the bridge. Here it looks as though the fields are flooded on both sides of the railway embankment I suppose it doesn't happen often enough to find the appropriate funds to prevent it. Which day was this?
Always Saloon BMW, Audi, Merc drivers who destroy engines in the dumbest ways. 🤣
they should have all brought bikes lmao
no bicycles stalled in there!!
Can’t believe how many drive through when there is some good evidence that it may be an issue….a very expensive issue.
Why have you guys got street like that in the UK? And why are so many people not able to pass that spot without having killed their cars?
The people driving the EVs through the flood will have done damage to the batteries 🔋 there's vents under the car for the batteries water will have gotten into the batteries 🔋
technically correct but practically wrong. they have vents but the vents are not a direct line under the car, they way they're shaped is a very long S shape and the vehicle would need to be minimum 2-3ft under water to fully make the water enter that S pipe vent. most EVs can do minimal flooding, well past what was shown on the video. the issue is not the battery, but rather the motor. the motors might face corrosion if they aren't dried off properly, or if they're more lower tier EVs
The Beemer might have made it had not a car sat in the middle at the end forcing him to go deeper. It doesn’t look too deep except that they all drive fast creating a large bow wave and reduce their chances of making it.
I wonder if or how many electric cars have broken going through flooded areas?
BMW Isn’t A Submarine but he is a bit of diver. The puddle beast.
i bought a overpriced overhyped car and now i cannot afford it
let the insurance co take it
Seems there really is a never ending line of people who are prepared to drive through deep water as they have no idea how an engine works. I love the way they don't understand they have destroyed their engine and just keep trying to restart it.
Why have people a driver license and not understanding waterlocking a engine?
What a total nobhead driving that black range rover through at speed is...
i genuinely feel sorry for him BUT why chance it ?
Was waiting for these compilations 🤣
If you have dpf filter, can throw it away not speaking about other small electronics after crossing these lakes.
they clean dpf filters with water!! now, the module nearby that monitors the dpf, its done!
Another unlucky BMW driver !….thanks for sharing Tom 👏🏻👏🏻
Anyone conned into buying a BMW is unlucky....same with Audi
I can't believe that people drive through this would rather go 20 miles around another way
Road is closed altogether on the other route at Crow Mills because of flooding!
Someone commented that they wouldn't walk through in their precious trainers but will risks thousands of pounds of car?
Wow!
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...pure muppetry.
Oh silly Raj!

Gullies may of needed cleaning, still no excuse for stupidity of drivers
Achtung wasser
I guess you're trying to close this toad too!
Oh give over🥱. That’s the most stupidest thing I’ve heard this week 🤣
no, they're going to dig it down 2 more feet, so it fills up with water faster!!
@@rearspeaker6364 that’s not even necessary. We literally had 6 or more flood location’s within 10 miles to film at, so digging at tarmac will do nothing for us 😂
Why do uk drivers drive faster in water than they do normally? the average speed in Britain is about 13mph but when the roads are flooded its 21mph
That was a made up statistic. but I'm probably not far off
It's Island Mentality lol
No ways... BWW 😂😂😂💦💦💀🪦
